Preseason profile of Indiana's Remy Abell

[rsmit84]

Yeh that has to be tough to come in and try to keep a recruit that has had someone in his ear...telling him how he can do better...and since that coach is no longer there, no reason th stay...Geno was in a no win situation there...I have to think Remy had already decided...

EXACTLY! If you want to keep the Jim Les thing going, fine, but putting blame on Coach Ford is absurd.

P.S. save your response of "did you care when people didnt support Jim?". I agree some criticism was unfair but now so is this. Two wrongs...

I thought we still had JL - since there's people still blaming him for everything they can think of -- even blaming JL for why BU got 10th in the preseason poll ??
Who will they stop blaming first -- George Bush or JL?

Stir stir. I read the entire thread on the Braves being picked 10th. Didn't see one post blaming Jim. There was no bigger Jim Les backer than myself, but he's gone and has moved on to another coaching job. Get over it. If I did, you can.

It was said- you just missed it.

I'd rather have a coach that wins consistently and brings us an MVC title and multiple NCAA appearances. I'm hoping we FINALLY have that guy now; it's been a LONG time, brotha.

Sorry Coach, but still didn't see it on that thread. One poster said we were bad last year. He was right, but didn't see him blame Coach Les.

We wouldn't need to wish we had JL.

We need to wish we had a coach that, when dropped off in a stud recruit's living room, could land him.

what? as in Geno should have been able to land RA? pftttttt

Umm, is that not what every school in the country wishes? Yeesh.

Some people would have you believe these kids commit to schools and not to coaches. Using that thought process, I'm sure those same people are blaming Geno for "losing" a kid that had already commited to the school.

Actually shaunguth, I don't think anyone blames Geno OR Les for losing Abell. I, personally, put more blame on the "system" that encourages a kid to commit early to a coach. I think if the "system" encouraged kids to commit to a school instead, with penalties of some form for breaking that commitment when a coach leaves, more kids would think twice before committing to a SCHOOL. So, I primarily place the blame on a flawed system. And, secondarily, I place blame on the kid for going back on his word. I'm quite sure the "commitment" wording is for committing to the school, not the coach.

You're right......they're committing to the schools.

Did Remy Abail see our facilities before he decided to leave? You can't deny these facilities...

[tornado]

Yes -- BU's facilities - some of which were still in the works were part of why we landed him - but IU also has tremendous new facilities...so when JL was fired, Remy went looking elsewhere & liked the chance to play at IU

Can we put RA posts in the same boat as SM posts?? jk


I watched the last 10 minutes of the IU game hoping to see RA who had I think 5 or 6 points at the time....but I didn't see him log anymore minutes after that.

Maybe I was flipping around.

I think that RA logged 8 minutes for the game. I am curious to see what happens to his PT?
